Look at the Payloads , central one may be a cruise Missile like SCALP , similarly named Payload is in first pylon but different thing, second one Swarming Drones Alpha S , Targetting pods and EW suites are also visible . Look at the Radar of cats hunter or is it a Radar/sensor carrying Drone but ( First pylon)there is explosives are also visible , Suicidal Drones 🤔 any way we need to confirm it.

4 RWR senors as usual on the tail . But additional 4 new sensors on the front section , 1 above and below the nose section. And another 2 below just behind the radome . Interesting.

Plus what looks like a combined IFF just ahead of the windshield .

TEDBF a unique design doesn't look like any current Fighters , beautiful design. Can develop a lot of lift some stealth features , dsi airintake, Canard and lerx like portion in front of Canard looks unique and very streamlined for reducing drag. Look at the underbelly which can produce lift , much more wing area than any fighters .

The elevons have changed completely.

Can someone say what is happening here? Is ADA deliberately doing this to spread confusion and mislead the technical analysts of our Western and Northern neighbours ?

PS- I liked the earlier elevon shapes . Which observes edge alignment. Can't understand why would the the ADA people change the shape and violate the edge alignment rule. But then again, they know a thing or two more about steath shapings and allied stuff than me .

I would like to earnestly request those people who will be visiting Aero India , to enquire about the new shape of elevons and the issue of divergence of elevonleading edge alignment with the wing le .

TEDBF , I must say this is my favourite design of all Indian designs , semi stealth , roughly same stealth functionality as in korean KFX design.

First semi stealth aircraft carrier capable fighter design in the world.

Yep. The intake walls are parallel to the front fuselage sides. So some elements of stealth are being incorporated into the design ground up.

If only they would align the trailing edge of the canard with the te of the delta wings.

What engine will be powering it? What will be its internal fuel capacity range etc.? Because that is what matters most wrt carrier based fighters..

Those two antennas under the nose radome are the TX antennas for the Unified Radar Warner jammer . Most probably

And this is a newly upgraded Jaguar IS. Theres a brand new EL/M-2032 behind that shiny jet black radome.
